Kitty huddled in the corner, crying in despair in the humble country cottage where he once worked. The mutual understanding came too late, how short the period of real mutual affection was...
At first, she rashly agreed to propose marriage just to get away from that gloomy family. One is a lively and sexy high-society woman, and the other is a rigorous and rigid scientist, who can respect each other but is not love after all. Perhaps, that kind of cold and silent man is only suitable for admiration from a distance, but cannot live together. The sexy and beautiful Kitty can't be tolerated, so handsome Charlie taught her to watch Chinese dramas and said: "She used to be a lively and lovely girl, but she has become the loneliest woman in the world. The most important thing is that she is forever for herself. I don't feel love, and I don't have the opportunity to give love and cry..." His eyes were full of charm.
They panic when they see the doorknob turning slowly, but the door doesn't open. Fein once joked that he didn't bother to fight with that kind of person, but I think it's just because of love, because of love, and he doesn't want to see her embarrassed in front of him.
She always had wishful thinking about how much Charlie loved her and would do anything for her. And this is just a beautiful and simple fantasy. They value too many things, and God knows where love comes first. But to be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with this, or that being cold is the best armor for life. Too many women tend to feel sorry for themselves in the midst of emotional distress, imagine themselves to the point where they are unbearably humble, and they are full of sorrow. Just like when she first lived in Meitan House, she was abandoned by her lover, neglected by her husband, and wasted her life for no reason in this plague-ridden place. A young woman is as hopeless as a dying oil lamp.
Her husband's indifference, whose pain, despair, and even self-harm could not change, would not give even a trace of sympathy. Days like this can only be on your own. She risked being infected by going to the convent to do nursing, teaching the children to play the piano, and finding her worth bit by bit, while also seeing Fein's sublime. Love is finally reawakened with her transformation...
"The Veil," adapted from Somerset Maugham's novel, was introduced to the mainland in December last year, but it seems to have been left out. Perhaps the propaganda of the movie is as restrained as it is itself - there are no open scenes, it is all about expressing the meticulous heart of the characters. I liked the dialogue very much, and the one that left the deepest impression was the passage where the old nun said to Kitty on the bench of the orphanage--
"I fell in love when I was seventeen, I fell in love with God. Life has romantic fantasies. But my love is so intense. My emotions have changed over time. He has let me down, he has ignored me, we have become indifferent, like old couples sitting side by side On the couch, but rarely talking to each other. He knows I'll never leave him, it's my job. But when love and duty come together, grace is with you."
